Annotation
Little Kathy Hoffman, 6 years old as she told the listener, offered a pro-Nixon narration in the track "Kathy's Letter" (Dial # 4091). She started out by welcoming Nixon into his new job as President, noting the trouble in the world and that they could get "blowed-up" at any time. Later on she dealt with the issues of protesters and anarchy, and even though she "don't know what that means" and "can't even spell it", she does know that it is causing a lot of trouble. She then implied that the protesters needed a spanking. In the final section, Little Kathy specifically mentioned the Vietnam War, noting the sadness of many mums and dad. She signed off with a "god bless you Mr. Nixon". Written and produced by Dan Hoffman - presumably the father?
